Abstract

ABSTRACT: “Nadranan” is a traditional ceremony celebrated every year by the society lived in Cirebon coastal area, West Java, Indonesia. The ceremony, taken usually two days three nights in the vicinity of the Sunan Gunung Jati cemetery region, is intended to show appreciation of the Cirebon society as many of them have jobs as farmer or sailor. In their development as culture phenomenon, the “nadranan” ceremony experienced many significant changes on its practice and its perception. The most significant and subtle modification are the removal of the “Larung Sajen” ritual. The removal is unusual since, in many places, “Larung Sajen” is the main core of the “Nadranan” ceremony. The modification indicates that “Nadranan” in Cirebon coastal society is closer as a culture practice, which is accepted as a traditional heritage rather than as a ritual practice which often invites controversy. Finally, “Nadranan” is essentially a traditional ritual usually conducted by the fishermen community, although in Cirebon it is also held by the agricultural community. KEY WORDS: “Nadranan”, ceremony, ritual culture, agricultural society, and fishermen community.About the Author: Dr. Titin Nurhayati Ma’mun is a Lecturer at the Arabic Literature & Language Departement, Faculty of Letters UNPAD (Padjadjaran University), Jalan Sumedang-Bandung Km.5, Jatinangor, Sumedang, West Java, Indonesia.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: To enter into the religious pluralism of thought, in which the Muslims need to do, is to reinterpret the teachings of Islam, so that the Muslims do not happen with the authoritarian attitudes that consider the most of uncorrect in understanding of Islam. The word of plural and pluralism means diversity and plurality. Thus, the notion of pluralism can be defined as an ideology that recognizes diversity in its various aspects, for example in understanding of religion, culture, and geography. This study tries to elaborate the controversy of the liberal-Islamic thought about pluralism of religions in Indonesia. By using the qualitative methods, especially the historical approach with descriptive analysis, this study concerns on the controversy of Islamic liberal thought in one hand; and, in other hand, its relevances to religious pluralism in Indonesian’s social and political context. The findings show that pluralism of religions by liberal Islamic group that all religions with its variations and levels of different depths are the same as the road of religious. This opinion has caused controversy, because there is criticism and there were strongly rejected the idea of pluralism of the liberal Islam. As K.H. Atiyan Ali M. Da’i (2002) and MUI (Indonesian Ulema Council) issued a “fatwa” that pluralism is unlawful, because it has a tendency considers all religions that difference could be reduced or avoided, if the same understanding of pluralism. KEY WORDS: Controversial Issues; Liberal Islamic Thought; Understanding of Islam; Pluralism of Religions; Indonesian Islam.   About the Authors: Samsudin, M.Ag. is a Postgraduate Student of UNPAD (Padjadjaran University) Bandung and a Lecturer at the Faculty of Adab and Humanities UIN SGD (State Islamic University, Sunan Gunung Djati) Bandung, West Java, Indonesia.

ABSTRACT: Did the people’s response to the crisis change over time? Using three different crisis experiences in the 1930s, the 1940s, and the late 1990s, the article will examine how the local society of Besuki (residency) in East Java, responding to them. The three crises put a strong blow to the livelihoods of the local people. But the adversity of the impact was unevenly felt by different groups of people, depending on the nature of their material bases and the availability of alternative sources of income. It finds that there were similarities in the people’s responses. During the three events, some sought to find a relief in agriculture, retail trade, and forest sectors, apart from making adjustments in expenditure and consumption patterns to mitigate the adverse consequences of the crises. But for those who found no other alternatives, the crises forced them to do illegal activities, including lootings, stealings, and illegal logging. Such adaptive responses seem to have been quite common. Crises also meant a higher number of crimes.KEY WORDS: Responses to crisis, Indonesian crises, historical comparison, and Besuki residency.About the Author: Dr. Nawiyanto is a Lecturer at the Department of History, Faculty of Letters UJ (University of Jember), Jalan Kalimantan No.37 Jember City 68121, East Java, Indonesia.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: In studying related to the aspects of historical novel, the literature experts classified all of the historical novel into three main categories, namely: propaganda, education, and escapism. This classification is not based on aesthetic considerations, but on the issue of historical truth. Accordingly, the first and third classifications mislead or ignore the historical truth, while the second classification abuses the novel media. Propaganda historical novels generally have political or religious motives, educational historical novels aims to provide factual information to the reader, and escapism historical novels are largely intended to provide entertainment. Meanwhile, other literature experts divided the historical novel into two categories, namely: traditional historical novels and post-modernist historical novels. The traditional historical novel reached its peak popularity in the 19th century, and is often used as material for study by the critics at the time. A general characteristic of this novel, which is also regarded as a weakness, is often to incorporate elements of romantic love in addition to elements of history. Meanwhile, post-modernists’ historical novels reject such forms. Based on the classification, this article attempts to examine the historical novels in Arabic literature and how they are categorized. Historical novels which are used as the case studies in this article are the works of historical novels by Jurji Zaydan (1861), Naguib Mahfouz (1911), and Gamal al-Ghitani (1945).KEY WORDS: Historical novel, Arabic literature, category and classification, historical truth, the works of Jurji Zaydan, Naguib Mahfouz, and Gamal al-Ghitani.About the Author: Dr. Maman Lesmana is a Senior Lecturer at the Arabic Language Department, Faculty of Humanities UI (University of Indonesia), UI Campus Depok, West Java, Indonesia.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: This writing discusses the background of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad founded Ahmadiyya  and the response of Indian people at that time. Ahmadiyya was founded by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad in the city of Ludhiana, India, in 1889. He was born on 13th February 1835 in Qadian, India, and died in the city of Lahore, India, on 26th May 1908. At the end of 1890, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad claimed to be “Imam Mahdi” and “Al-Masih” (Messiah) promised by the Prophet Muhammad to revive Islam and enforcing Islamic law at the end of time. Recognition of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as “Imam Mahdi” and Messiah is a revelation which he admits received from God, as well as the “Prophet” (for Qadianism) and “Mujaddid” (for Lahoreism) is the core ideology of Ahmadiyya. At the beginning of his activities in India, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad was accepted by the Muslims in general as “mujaddid”. However, after he claimed to receive revelations and had been appointed by God as the “Mahdi” and Messiah, and even claimed to be a “Prophet”, then, many Muslims opposed it. The ulemas in India also imposed infidel to Mirza Ghulam Ahmad and his followers. Mirza Ghulam Ahmad and his followers were downed on and isolated by the Muslims in general, because they were stipulated as astray and out of Islam. The conclusion of this writing is that although Ahmadiyya considered astray and infidel, but Ahmadiyya continues to grow and expands to all corners of the world, and now the movement is international.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: This article examines three books from three women writers who were the wives of three political prisoners in Indonesia. They tell us on their life stories in Indonesia where their husbands were incarcerated by the New Order regime (1966-1998). The regime even held one of the women prisoners as well. This article sees also how they revealed their life experiences, though coming from different periods of time, using the same sarcastic criticism point of view. The aim of this article is to show the differences and similarities of the writers views towards the brutality of the military regime during the New Order era. The research uses a discourse analysis by looking at the revealment structures from the three writers through a historical perspective. Another aspect revealed by the three wives of the political prisoners is that the people of Indonesia themselves were forced to accept all kinds of political pressures from the Old Order regime, and even more from the New Order regime who ruled longer. The three books have indirectly presented a historical reflection on the gloomy process of a nations journey: what was Indonesia during the New Order military regime.KEY WORDS: Wives of political prisoners, military regime, New Order government, and three books.About the Author: Dr. Zeffry Alkatiri is a Lecturer at the Department of History, Faculty of Humanities UI (University of Indonesia), UI Campus, Depok, West Java, Indonesia.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Transformation in structuration theory is caused by two things which are the roles of the agents and the interest in system construction purpose. Change of structure in the transformation, according to Anthony Giddens (2011), is limited to the actions of the agents to modify the existing structure. It means that the initial structure is not then removed, but still acts as the main basis. The application of the structuration theory on dance can be found in the case of transformation of “Jayengrana” dance which has endured significant changes after its proliferation. “Jayengrana” dance is one of dancing repertoires in Sumedang’s “wayang” dance genre in West Java, Indonesia. The potential in “Jayengrana” dance is shown in its phenomenal proliferation. The level of the proliferation can be seen not only in local and regional level, but also in international one. The agent involving in this phenomenon of the transformation of “Jayengrana” dance is R. Ono Lesmana Kartadikusumah (Ono) in Sumedang and Iyus Rusliana in Bandung. The agents of change for “Jayengrana” dance give their creativity which has modifying qualities aiming to fulfill the system’s needs, aesthetic demands, and today’s theatrical elements of dancing performances. Finally, “Jayengrana” dance, as a treasure of “wayang” dance Sumedang style, must be conserved in terms of its originality and also can be a model for the dance which will always be open for the reconstruction.KEY WORDS: Transformation, structuration theory, “Jayengrana” dance, Anthony Giddens, R.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Historizing a collective life requires moments of time which construct a shared memory, moments in time that have brought a revolutionary change in the collective life, moments of marking that shared life in the progressive time sequencing, and moments of repetitions of what has been lived and experienced in that collectiveness. Without a moment of revolutionary change, the finding of that moment in history would seek into other forms of acknowledgement. Accordingly, the Pekalongan city in Central Java has a significant role in the development of batik production in Indonesia; and so, in 2011, this city was launched as the “world batik city” by the government. This gesture was made to re-activate the dynamics of life in Pekalongan as it has experienced a decline in its industrial productivity. Other local potentials that support the characteristics of Pekalongan as a batik city have also been re-activated and upgraded, such as conserving the local batik kampongs, “Kauman” and “Pesindon”, to be part of the national batik tourist destination areas. This writing will analyze how the life in Pekalongan underwent its historical process and how the external and internal factors interacted and weaved the various texture of life as it became the local color and identity of Pekalongan. Qualitative analysis methods are used in this writing to redefine what is commonly understood as a process of historization, and how this understanding can be used to look at the different contexts of life in Pekalongan. The finding of this research will show other possibilities that can be explored in the process of redefining and historizing the life of this city.KEY WORDS: Historizing, collective life, batik, Pekalongan, world batik city, tourist destination area, local color and identity, and redefining of history.  About the Authors: Katherina Allo is a Doctoral Student at the Faculty of Fine Arts and Design ITB (Bandung Institute of Technology), Jalan Ganesha No.10 Tamansari, Bandung, West Java, Indonesia; and Prof. Dr. Yasraf Amir Piliang is a Lecturer at the Faculty of Fine Arts and Design ITB Bandung, West Java, Indonesia.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: The process of decolonization on Islamic law in Indonesia had a long history, namely from the Islamic kingdoms period, Ducth colonial government, to post-colonial period. This paper aimed at describing and explaining how the process of decolonization on history of Islamic law in Indonesia was. The historical method was employed to account for the facts of history. Based on the facts of history, the process of decolonization on Islamic law in Indonesia coincided with the development of Islam in Indonesia. The application of the Islamic law in Indonesia could not be separated from the roles of Islamic kingdoms in spreading out the teachings of Islam. The arrival of the Dutch colonial has predisposed the application of the Islamic law in Indonesia. The Dutch colonial government applied the theory of “Receptio in Complexu” and the theory of “Receptie” in the Islamic law in Indonesia. Both of these theories gave a very strong influence in the Dutch legal system in Indonesia. The Proclamation of Indonesian Independence was the starting point of the struggle for legal structure changes by performing the decolonization of law, including Islamic law decolonization through the emergence of the “Receptie Exit” theory. This theory attempted to waive the Islamic law from the influence of decolonization and to direct that the Islamic law in Indonesia was based on Pancasila and the Constitution of 1945. This decolonization was designated by the emergence of Islamic law in the perspective of Indonesianness in the form of the Compilation of Islamic Law in Indonesia.KEY WORDS: Decolonization Process; Islamic Law; National Law System; Pancasila; Indonesia.About the Author: Prof. Dr. Haji Sulasman is a Lecturer at the Department of Islamic Civilization, Faculty of Adab and Humanities UIN SGD (State Islamic University, Sunan Gunung Djati) Bandung, Jalan A.H.
